Growing and Sewing all things Floral

Fabulous; it’s Friday!

“Go ahead, make a little something this weekend and share it with someone you don’t know yet. Spread a little love around and watch the joy spread”

Hand baked, with love, these exquisite biscuits were made by Shilo as table favours for a party to mark her recent marriage to David. Shilo and I had never met until I saw her biscuits; lovingly wrapped in cellophane, tied up with a ribbon and placed on the table just before everyone sat down to dine. Big bubbles of happiness popped inside me at the sight of these exquisite baked confections. These were made just for me! I rushed straight over to meet the special person who had made me feel so happy.

Shilo’s biscuits had triggered an instant bond between us; a connection born out of creativity and the fact that a handmade gift can make the recipient feel special in a way that no bought gift could possibly do.

Go ahead, make a little something this weekend and share it with someone you don’t know yet. Spread a little love around and watch the joy spread!

Those are beautifully decorated cookies. I owe my neighbor some homemade dish of some kind. He came by the other day with 8 huge pike for us. I don’t know what to make him this time. I will have to give it some thought…Have a wonderful Weekend too!

I am so glad you like them. I know that you are also very skilled at making lovely edible goodies, so a compliment from you is a prize indeed!
I will tell Shilo how much you liked them, she will be thrilled!

Oh welcome! I have not been blogging for long either. What has amazed me is the friendship and support which can be built in this community.
Thank you so much for your comments, you will know already through your own experiences how much a few words can mean.
I will make sure that I visit your blog and see what you are up to.
Happy blogging!
